PHILIP H. ANSELMO & THE ILLEGALS will unite with Housecore labelmates KING PARROT this fall for a US live takeover. The tour, previously scheduled for the spring but postponed following Anselmo’s recent back surgery, will commence September 6th in New Orleans, Louisiana and includes a stop at this year’s edition of Berserker Fest September 28th in Pontiac, Michigan. See all confirmed dates below. Tickets go on sale this Saturday June 9th with additional shows to be announced soon.

The band will be touring in support of their Choosing Mental Illness As A Virtue full-length released earlier this year via Anselmo’s own Housecore Records. Called, “fifty minutes of gnarly, vicious extreme metal…,” by Revolver Magazine, “an ever-shifting fusillade of extreme groove prog…,” by Decibel Magazine, “a schizophrenic musical expression that’s as insane as it is enjoyable,” by Blabbermouth and, “unquestionably one of the angriest and heaviest albums of ANSELMO‘s career,” by Exclaim!, the critically-lauded offering is extreme, abrasive, aggressive, and anthemic. In other words, it’s purely ANSELMO.

PHILIP H. ANSELMO hasn't just paved his own path; he's bulldozed it with his bare hands. His primal, powerful presence led PANTERA to Grammy Award nominations, sales of 20 million albums worldwide, legions of diehard fans, and an indisputable heavy metal legacy. Simultaneously, DOWN carved out a distinct niche with a gold-selling debut and three more critically acclaimed releases. SUPERJOINT made a triumphant return in 2016 and In the midst of everything, ANSELMO joined SCOUR alongside members of PIG DESTROYER and CATTLE DECAPITATION and teamed up with horror icon Bill Moseley for the BILL & PHIL project. However, PHILIP H. ANSELMO & THE ILLEGALS speaks to a certain need for him. Instead of treading the same ground, ANSELMO and his bandmates in THE ILLEGALS, open up another doorway altogether with their 2018 sophomore release, Choosing Mental Illness As Virtue, available through the vocalist's own Housecore Records.
